Chapter 52: Second Time But Zhao Chaoan didn't, his gaze seemed to be through the window...
As soon as he returned to the house, Ying Bu Ran was hugged as expected.
After Zhao Chaoan hugged Ying Bu Ran, he rubbed her. The excitement in his heart has not subsided until now.
He even showed signs of wanting to jump up while holding someone, but Ying Bu Ran quickly suppressed his intention.
No, she couldn't handle such intense movements, and she still couldn't accept it: "Stop, stop, stop."
Zhao Chaoan immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Ying Bu Ran in confusion. Seeing Ying Bu Ran's hidden discomfort, he nodded in understanding and regained his previous composure. "Why are you gone for so long?"
"I went to talk to Zhao Qingxun." Ying Bu Ran said lightly, observing Zhao Chaoan's reaction without leaving any trace.
As she expected, Zhao Chaoan's face immediately turned sullen upon hearing Zhao Qingxun's name: "Are you looking for her about the Heavenly Sacrifice?"
Although she was unhappy, she would not stop Ying Bu Ran from seeing Zhao Qingxun. As of now, she felt that Ying Bu Ran was the only person Zhao Qingxun might believe and be willing to tell.
On the way, she observed the interaction between Zhao Qingxun and Qi Yiwen, and found that the whole process was filled with two words - unfamiliar.
The relationship between them seemed to be a pure cooperation. Qi Yiwen told Zhao Qingxun about their side's affairs, and Zhao Qingxun told her about Liuyun Sect's actions.
Zhao Qingxun was also observing this side. He had indeed improved compared to before. He knew not to trust people easily, but not much.
If Ying Bu Ran wanted to kill her because of the past, she would have been dead.
Now Zhao Qingxun is not qualified to catch up with her. After all, he is still a kid who has just jumped out of the ivory tower.
Ying Bu Ran shook her head. It would be more appropriate to talk to Jiang Liuyan about the specific plans. The only information she needed was the map. After getting the map, her only task was to find the way to the sky and kill the sky.
"No, I just tested her stance to see if she was an enemy. After that, I led her to my mother."
Zhao Chaoan nodded: "I see."
"The result of your test is okay? Are you sure? After all, she is still a disciple of Liuyun Sect and has not yet left."
"No problem. She's not lying and truly wants to change the status quo. At least in this regard, our goals are the same, so we can work together." Ying Bu Ran analyzed, then turned to look at Zhao Chaoan. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling in her heart, "I have something to discuss with you."
"...That's about it. What do you think?"
Zhao Chaoan listened, her expression remaining solemn. After a moment, she shook her head. "Emotionally, I don't agree with you doing this, but this is your decision, and since you're ready, I will support you."
After she finished speaking, she took Ying Bu Ran's hand and drew a seal on her palm. "This is a pass. It's more convenient than escaping in as a ghost, but you need to use it in ghost form. Remember to completely cover that person with ghost energy. However, when you leave, you still need to cross the river to the rift because you're carrying her. If you're alone, you can directly activate this pass to go in and out."
Ying Bu Ran raised his hand slightly, looked at the curse seal in his hand, clenched his fist, looked up at Zhao Chaoan and smiled, "Thank you."
Zhao Chaoan raised his eyebrows, pointed to his cheek and chuckled.
Ying Bu Ran: ...
It seemed like she shouldn't have started that.
Complaining in his heart, Ying Bu Ran slowly approached and gave a light kiss, then quickly separated. He looked to the side, coughed twice, and changed the subject: "I might need to borrow your avatar."
"Of course, even if you don't lend it to me, I'll still send an avatar there. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be at ease. After all, that's the Liuyun Sect, not some dirt ditch." As he spoke, a small black blackbird materialized from Zhao Chaoan's shoulder and flew to Ying Bu Ran's shoulder. "I'll summon it out first so you can get used to it. If there's nothing urgent later, take a break."
Ying Bu Ran nodded. After this series of events, she was actually not very sleepy, but considering that there would be a series of battles to come, this was probably the last chance to rest, so she decided to sleep.
As soon as she lay down, Zhao Chaoan came over again. As usual, he wrapped her in his arms from behind and smiled: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, I'll accompany you."
Ying Bu Ran nodded, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep, but Zhao Chaoan did not. His eyes seemed to see another person through the window.
Zhao Qingxun was standing outside, looking at this side.
She received the warning from Zhao Chaoan across the wall, but she didn't care. She only cared about that person.
There is still a lot of time and a chance to fight for it.
…
Ying Bu Ran was completely unaware of what was happening. He woke up the next day. All the remaining fatigue was gone, and he was full of energy.
Seeing her wake up, Zhao Chaoan nudged her again before saying, "Yun Xiangwan has sent a message. The little one is awake too. She's out shopping with the little one now. She can contact them anytime."
"Okay, I'll go find them. Is there anything else you want to do next?" Ying Bu Ran stood up and asked.
Zhao Chaoan shook his head and followed Ying Bu Ran closely like a follower: "No, I don't have anything to do. I'll go with you."
She has to keep an eye on it. Zhao Qingxun is now free, so she has to be on guard.
After knowing that Ying Bu Ran had also woken up, Yun Xiangwan brought Qian Qiuxin back. Therefore, when Ying Bu Ran opened the door, he saw the two people who were almost buried by something.
"The little guy said it felt real when he held it, so that's it." Yun Xiangwan put the things down and rescued Qian Qiuxin, shrugged.
Ying Bu Ran laughed in silence, but she understood Qian Qiuxin's thoughts very well. She had had this feeling a long time ago. Only when she really held it in her hands did she feel that it really belonged to her.
Even sometimes, even if you hold it in your hand, it has nothing to do with you.
Ying Bu Ran casually took out a piece of dessert and handed it to Qian Qiuxin, and said straight to the point: "I have something to ask you for help later..."
"...That's about it. Is there anything you don't understand?"
Qian Qiuxin tried hard to stuff the whole dessert into her mouth, chewing and swallowing it. After swallowing it, she asked, "Is there any danger?"
"You will not be in danger, you just need to assist me." Ying Bu Ran replied. She had also considered this issue. Qian Qiuxin was still a blank slate and was not suitable for contact with that heavenly spirit.
Just leave the contact matters to her.
Qian Qiuxin didn't catch the hidden meaning in Ying Buran's words. Thinking there was no danger at all, she nodded without hesitation. "Okay! When do we start? What do you need me to prepare?"
Ying Bu Ran: "When we get there, I'll guide you. Just follow my lead. It's not difficult."
She mainly needs to rely on Qianqiuxin's luck to strengthen her "momentum", so that her spiritual consciousness can reach the highest level of the sky through this "momentum".
Here, Shen Cangwu had prepared the things long ago, and after learning that they could proceed, he took them directly to his temporary residence, where a magic circle was drawn.
Shen Cangwu took out a candle, placed it in front of the formation, and explained: "This formation is the secret technique of my sect. It can isolate the pressure of the sky to a certain extent, but only a part of it. The rest depends on you."
"End the Sky-Gazing before the candle burns out. The burning time of this candle is also the duration of the magic circle."
Ying Bu Ran nodded, took Qian Qiuxin to the center of the magic circle, taught her to sit cross-legged, back to back with him, and guided her to adjust her breathing little by little, slowly sense the changes around her, sense the qi in her body, and then guide it.
After feeling that Qian Qiuxin was fully in the state, Ying Bu Ran continued his celestial glimpse. Zhao Chaoan, who came with her, happened to be helping the two of them to protect the law, and observing whether Qian Qiuxin had any connection with the spirit of the sky.
Soon, Ying Bu Ran came to the empty road to heaven again. This time, she could move forward to a higher place. She could feel the pressure from the sky with every step she took.
She seemed to see an eye staring at her angrily, as if her arrival had disrupted the tranquility and order here.
Ying Bu Ran ignored the whispers in his ears and continued to move forward. As he advanced step by step, some wriggling pieces of flesh began to appear on the road, gnawing at the Sky Road.
Finally, she successfully reached the highest point and saw the bloated Heavenly Spirit. This time, face to face, she could see more clearly.
These tumors are made up of people. Countless hands are stretched out from the tumors, struggling to get out, and you can almost hear their wailing.
These are the wronged souls of those who died in heaven.
"You failed, here I come." Ying Bu Ran sneered, looking directly at the huge bloodshot eye between the tumor and his hand.
The pupils of his eyes instantly contracted, and his entire body trembled violently, as if he was extremely angry. After provoking him, Ying Bu Ran ignored him and instead seized the opportunity to observe him, looking for weaknesses in his behavior and logic.
The mental pressure intensified, yet Ying Bu Ran seemed to feel nothing. A drop of sweat dripped from her forehead. She chuckled softly, a slight bleed seeping from the corner of her eye. But then she formed a sword in her hand and, without hesitation, stabbed at the eye in the center.
Then his feet felt empty, the time was up, Ying Bu Ran fell rapidly, and before disappearing from the sight of Tian Zhi Ling, he raised his middle fingers towards Tian Zhi Ling with both hands.
She saw the tumors on Tian Zhiling's body begin to fall off, and because of her sword strike, the falling was accelerated by a split second. The pieces of flesh formed twisted monsters and fell. Looking down, she saw bloody red spots appearing on the ground. Although there were not many, they were almost spread across the entire continent.
When she opened her eyes again, the magic circle and the candle had dissipated. The next moment, Zhao Chaoan was in front of her, wiping the blood off her face with a handkerchief: "I told you to take it easy, and now you've gotten into this situation again..."
Zhao Chaoan was chattering away, while Qian Qiuxin, Yun Xiangwan and Chen Cangwu were also looking at her with concern.
Ying Bu Ran tried hard to swallow the blood in his throat, and after coughing a few times, he regained the ability to speak.
"I saw it. The Heavenly Spirit's clones were scattered across the continent. From my divine sense, it looked like pieces of flesh were falling, but in reality, that wasn't the case. He might have used some method to control some of the creatures on the ground. Although there aren't many, their number is gradually increasing."
"I suspect it might be the remains of those who died from the wrath of heaven."
